React Native vs. Flutter – Which one is better?

Both React Native and Flutter enable cross-platform mobile development, but they differ in performance, language, and ecosystem. React Native uses JavaScript and offers a flexible UI with native components, while Flutter, powered by Dart, delivers high-performance mobile experiences with a custom rendering engine.

If you want faster development with JavaScript, go with React Native. If you need high-performance animations and full control over UI, Flutter is the better choice.

Key Takeaways:

  • React Native → Best for JavaScript developers and fast mobile app development.

  • Flutter → Ideal for high-performance UIs and custom animations.

  • React Native relies on native components, while Flutter has its own UI engine.
